Extra Bars

Important
I have recently uploaded the initial release for the successor (replacement) to Extra Bars called Button Forge.
Button forge addresses several of the problems present in Extra Bars (such as Companions sometimes causing an error at first login, poor performance in certain scenerios etc), perhaps the biggest change is the ability to create as many or few bars and buttons as you choose.
I encourage you to take a look:

Note: I have uploaded a v4.0.1 compatible version of Extra Bars now! (I only plan to provide basic support for this addon, but I will try to keep it operational for the time being... I may have a longer term plan if I find the time at a later date i.e. Extra Bars using the Button Forge engine which is a better engine)

(Both addons can operate side by side if you want to give it a try first)

03-Sep-2012 v0.7.12
- Provided the hide on vehicle option is set for the bar, the bar will now also hide when the override bar is active (e.g. when doing the darkmoon dailies)

01-Sep-2012 v0.7.11
- Updated to be WoW v5.0.4 compatible

11-Dec-2011 v0.7.10
- Updated to be compatible with v4.3 of WoW
- Added delay when logging in before missing macros are removed from Extra Bars

24-Feb-2011 v0.7.8 - Companions (mounts/critters) should now be less prone to errors (the icon may temporarily be incorrect for a few moments when first logging in, if the companion is not in cache)
- Fixed problem that was causing some spells to be removed from the bar when switching specs
- Button Facade support has been added

20-Oct-2010 v0.7.7 - Removed a debug statement that had accidentally been left in the previous release

19-Oct-2010 v0.7.6 - Updated to v4.0.1 compatibility
- Resolved issue some people experienced when first starting up regarding macros not being available (thanks to Another for pointing this out)
- Disabled auto updating of Rank for spells (this was mostly redundant and could cause a problem for the mage polymorph spell)
- Added possible performance improvement (thanks to Another for pointing this out)

19-Dec-2009 v0.7.4 - Fixed issue preventing a few certain mounts and pets not activating when clicked (most notably the Bronze Protodrake).
- Positioning of the Extra Bars is now stored as part of the saved variables
- Made minor alteration to prevent accidentally dragging a button out of its position
- Updated toc to reflect WoW v3.3 compatibility

10-Aug-2009 v0.7.3 - Fixed issue preventing items not in the player inventory not having an icon on the bar
- Lowered Bar strata to reduce the chance other UI elements appear underneath it

14-Jun-2009 v0.7 - Added graphical controls to provide quicker bar configuration and adjustment
- Corrected issue with Companions on the bar when a new companion is learnt
- Added a scale option to resize the bars

10-May-2009 v0.61 - Corrected tooltip for the new Number of Buttons config option

09-May-2009 v0.6 - Introduced 3 additional bars
- Ability to set number of buttons
- Vertical layout option
- Disable tooltips option
- Ability to put mounts and critters on the bar
- Updated name (Now Extra Bars since there is more than one, the folder name hasn't changed however)

@EvoTech - Yes, I introduced that change in response to a request from another user. In the upcoming version v0.8 I plan to introduce / commands for setting up the bars, as one of the commands I'll introduce setting the strata as an advanced command

@xjtufans - One of the features I've been intending to add is an advanced option that would allow using conditionals (those used in macros) to configure when the bars are displayed. When this option is introduced it should be possible to put in a conditional so that the bar only displays during combat.

Very good addon.
Could you add some options? Such as only show in Combat.
and Could you let the spell icon turn to gray if the spell can't cast on the target, turn to red if the target out of range? Thanks very much.

I know this has been implemented in the newest update, but i personally dont like it. It's about Extra Bars being under some UI's like, pet bar. I know some ppl want EB to be under it, I want it over it . So if you could make another setting with "strata" value or something, would be awesome.

Originally posted by madman! I love the minimalistic aspect of this add-on, and being able to customize it is great! However, I am having a problem with spells lighting up when they are ready to use. In particular, Hammer Of Wrath does not light up when it is ready for use. This is VERY problematic, as it is only available for use when opponents' hp drop below 20%. If it never lights up you'll never know its ready, the alternative is just keep spamming it, but that's just irritating. Thought you might like to know!

Thanks for the comments.

I've got a few issues on my list to resolve. The issue you are encountering, does it only affect the Hammer Of Wrath spell or have you had it happen with others as well?

Edit: I've looked into this on a PTR hunter and replicated the issue with Kill Shot (a sub 20% finisher) - I don't have a fix as yet for the issue (it could be tricky), but there is something I believe you can do to temporarily fix the issue: - If you put Hammer of Wrath on one of the default action bars that is visible, it should update correctly on the Extra Bar as well
